the black numbers are the Irish handicappers Official ratings for each horse in the race. of the 3 that dont have one, 2 are trained in Britain so the Irish handicapper wouldnt have any rating for them. The other one, Zulu Chief has only run twice and in most cases, you need to run 3 times for the handicapper to give you a rating..
He should have a rating though, because he's won a race. Or at least that's how the handicapping system works here. Three runs or as soon as they have won a race. Hence why first time out winners are eligable to run in handicaps.
